The local grocery store is having a sale on sports drinks. For a particular brand ofsports drink, a 12-pack of 16-ounce bottles costs $10. 76. What is the unit price(per ounce) for the sports drink? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

The 12-pack contains bottles of 16 ounces each.

The total content of sports drinks is 12 × 16 = 192 ounces.

The unit price per ounce is the ratio of the total price to the total contents:

`p=(10.76)/(192)=0.06`

The unit price per ounce is $0.06
